King of New York(1990)

6.8/10

dir. Abel Ferrara

S-Tier

S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Abel Ferrara's crime film with Walken. Lionsgate put out a re-release with a steelbook that collectors found ugly, and most people are happy sticking with their Arrow or StudioCanal versions. The 4-hour documentary included with the Arrow release is almost as good as the film itself.

6.5/10

dir. Abel Ferrara

Arrow's 4K brought Ferrara's black and white vampire film to the format nobody expected, with a transfer that preserves the contrast and grain of the original without crushing the shadows.
